Bearing in mind the date of manufacture I wondered if it could have come from something like a Trident- but I’m not sure if that ever had what could be described as a chart table anywhere on board. Looking at the black colour -maybe it was made for something like a Vulcan or a Victor.Obviously as I previously stated the box is Hawker Siddeley- did they subcontract parts for other aircraft?

Anyone suggest or know where it came from?

I have recently been in the cockpit of the Vulcan which is at the NE Aviaiton Museum and took lots of piccies and it’s definately not from a Vulcan.
